Set your DVRs! MAKE’s amiable editor-in-chief, Mark Frauenfelder, will be on The Colbert Report tonight (June 8, 11:30pm, 10:30c), talking about his new book, Made by Hand, MAKE, and the “search for meaning in a throwaway world.” Break a leg, Mark!
Hot Topics:
I still have Mark’s first appearance on Colbert on my DVR. And I think the Martha Stewart show too. Now that there’s a set I’ll have to burn a DVD for loaning around.
(I know a lot of folks for whom a cultural phenomena isn’t real unless it has been on TV.)
It was great to see Mark on Colbert tonight, a really enjoyable interview.
